“There is no other coach like Mike. I was a novice to tennis and could hardly keep the ball in the court. Mike helped me through every step, with his patience and motivation he proved that anyone can excel using the right technique. His feedback and expertise allowed me the tools to get my game on the right track. There is much to learn still but the skills I’ve obtained thus far have given me the confidence to up my game on and off court. Thanks coach Mike!” Richelle Lara

“After years as a competitive runner, I decided to try a new sport. Much like running, competitive tennis is primarily a solo act, geared towards those with high motivation and discipline. Yet even the greatest solo acts needs backup. What separates Mike from other tennis pros is that he goes beyond just that hour that he spends with you on the court. He follows up with you, gives you little additional tips through emails and maintains your motivation levels high at all times. Mike has helped me improve my game far beyond expected. He is very personable, professional and incredibly passionate about helping others improve their tennis game.” Kendrick Ribeiro
